About this url encode and decode
URLs can only contain certain characters. Spaces, symbols and non-English letters are replaced with a percent sign and a code, so a space becomes %20. Encoding matters when you pass search terms or names in a query string. This tool encodes the whole input, so encode only the parts you need, such as a single parameter value, not a full link.
